Re-string your day and night shades

[Jca3]

Those pesky day/night shades can be repaired when the strings break.

We successfully repaired 3 day/night shades in our Laredo. There are a number of videos to look at but this one is the best.

Here's a good PDF with drawings for the various types of blinds.

We bought the right color string from fixmyblinds.com They have everything, all sizes of string, springs, the small gripper knobs at the bottom etc. They delivered within days.

Remember to keep both day and night sections facing front. I think we discovered most things to do wrong and had to take back down and redo. Thankfully we discovered we didn't have to take off the valances.

If your strings broke because they were too tight make sure to give yourself more string next time.

This is really handy information! Thank you!
We recently had to replace a shade on the back window of our Passport on the final days of it's original warranty. Working with my dealer, Keystone replaced it without hassle. But I am not sure it will go as smoothly later on, as the camper ages. This will be a viable alternative to replacing the shades.

Good info! Thanks for sharing!

The strings on the two largest windows and one small broke. We went to our dealer who was going to order new ones, and then put them in, but that would have cost over $400. It really is pretty easy to do yourself. We will carry the string with us and replace as we go.
